Eleusinia 4-Day Psilocybin and DMT Weekend Retreat

I hardly know where to begin to describe my experience at Eleusinia. If you are serious about finding a solution to whatever ails you, this is the place! The term “facility” doesn’t do it justice; it's truly a home—a big, beautiful, cozy, and healing home where you feel safe and secure. The environment is designed to foster tranquility, with numerous private spots where you can be alone, surrounded by the healing embrace of nature.

Every aspect of your stay is taken care of here. The bedrooms are incredibly comfortable, and the meals are delicious. But what truly sets Eleusinia apart are the owners, Jessica and Jay, and their exceptionally well-curated staff. Each member of the team is grounded, caring, and genuine, dedicated to helping you find what you need.

This place offers something for everyone. They walk alongside you on your journey, providing assistance when needed and giving space when it's essential. Healing is a gradual process, and knowing you are safe and cared for as you move forward is priceless. Jessica, Jay, and their team have created something special at Eleusinia—a sanctuary born from their big, beautiful hearts, and I am deeply thankful that it exists.

I’m a second-time guest at Eleusinia, and I know I’ll be back.

My wife and I just finished our third retreat at Eleusinia. As the clinical research proves what indigenous healers have known for eons, there are an ever increasing number of options for working with these amazing mushrooms, but they are not all created equal. The team at Eleusinia is extremely professional. The attention to detail is impeccable. The accommodations are luxurious and the food wonderful.
Most importantly, the intentionally diverse team is caring and compassionate in a way the restores your faith in humanity. Whether your thoughts on psilocybin are purely scientific or spiritual, you will feel completely at home. Though I have access to psilocybin at home and work with it regularly, I will keep coming back "home" to my Eleusinia family because the safe space they create and support they offer has allowed me to go deeper and make life-changing self discoveries. I am forever grateful. It can be scary to embark on this journey. The work is incredibly rewarding but equally difficult! If you are ready to heal, you will find no better or safer place.

I don't even know where to start. This is a 5 star review only because there's no option to go higher. I cannot imagine that there exists a better psilocybin retreat anywhere in the world. Upon arrival you will be made to feel like part of a large extended loving and caring family. Every single detail has been thought of. The level of passion that the team put into this endeavor is unparalleled. I've never felt such support from people I've just met. I don't really want to give anything away as everything needs to be experienced to be believed. But in the strongest terms possible, this is the highest praise I will ever leave in a review. My life is forever changed. Thank you to everyone at Eleusinia for EVERYTHING!

I concur with what everyone else has said about their experience at Eleusinia. The caring and supportive staff, beautiful accommodations and grounds, delicious food, the tools you are given to be successful at continuing the journey that brought you to Eleusinia and the bonding that goes on between participants and staff are unforgettable.

One thing I learned is that if you come with an expectation of what you will experience or what will come up, toss that out the window because you cannot predict it. Nothing came up that I thought would, things that needed to come up did.

It was clear that everyone had a different and life-changing experience. After we took the macrodose, which we did in an area called “the nest”, we were encouraged to leave it once we felt any effects and go to the beautiful area outside of the nest and let the medicine start working. Not exactly sure what happened in my case. I had the most healing experience of my entire life that changed my outlook completely but I never left the nest. I tried, but I just couldn’t, because I felt so safe there. I was never left alone. Someone was always right there by my side. I was surprised that I did not have any visual
or auditory experiences, but instead I cried for about 6-7 hours. Although I cannot remember every single thing, I can remember many things that I have been holding on to for years that I didn’t realize I was. The person I am today is a person I have never known my whole life. I’ve endured many traumas since childhood and well into adulthood and they impacted every aspect of my life. Somehow I got lucky and finally had everything I could ask for like a loving and supportive husband and children, in addition to a very comfortable life, but I couldn’t appreciate it because I didn’t know how to. Now I do. My family is not entirely sure how to take all this in quite yet, although they are very happy. Previously, their actions revolved around what my mood was each day, and now they can breathe. It’s a process, but a good one. I am very fortunate to have the support of my family as well as my doctor, who actually encouraged me to come, and he and I will be working on a plan for me to wean off many of the medications I’ve been on for years that never seemed to help me live a somewhat normal life anyway.

Every single staff member at Eleusinia was patient, comforting, and supportive. It was like being in a cocoon the entire stay.

While visiting Eleusinia is not going to solve all of your problems, it certainly will give you a jumpstart of putting you in the right mindset to help reverse self-destructive thoughts or negative behaviors so that you can continue to work on being the best person you can be. We will never be without problems, because well, life. However, I have found with this wonderful medicine that I can navigate life better, and when struggles come up, I can cope with them more effectively than I ever could before. At least this has been my experience.

I cannot thank the staff at Eleusinia enough. Everyone was absolutely wonderful. I will be forever grateful to Jessica, Jay, Josefina, Tawnya, Karen, Roger, Madai, and a most special shout out to Emilio.

The housekeeping and kitchen staff, as well as the masseuse, also make the experience just perfect. I hope I’m not forgetting anyone. Every need is taken care of.

I will also never forget the nine other wonderful people I went through this experience with.

One participant told me something that I won’t forget and really summed up my experience. He said when I arrived, I looked like I was holding my breath for a very long time and that by the end I looked so relaxed and peaceful. I did not notice it physically, but I definitely felt it emotionally.

Thank you again to the Eleusinia staff, and I will be returning next year!
